About the Galaxy Sentinel series
Thor, or Thor Manning Stromburg, is the Galaxy Sentinel, six feet tall, with dark brown hair and rugged features. He is in charge of the Institute, a five-story red brick building that sits on top of a mountain, jungle-dominated planetoid.
The Institute is a five-story red brick building that houses the galaxy’s most feared and dangerous criminals, guarded by a highly trained staff of two hundred and fifty men and women.
Thor does not work above the law; he works with the law tracking down hardened criminals and locks them up for good, out of society’s way.
The law of the Planetary Alliance says that if a felon is caught committing a crime. There is no trial to determine if he is guilty, his actions are a testimony against him, and he is without excuse. A hearing is held to determine the criminal sentence. No lawyer, no long, drawn-out trial. The man was caught in the middle of committing a crime.
However, if there is a shadow of doubt about whether he is guilty, there is a trial to decide his fate.
Thor’s wife, Cherry Ruth Blossom, a six feet tall, shapely woman with brown hair, stands by his side no matter what. She was born on Planet Haskell Prime, slightly smaller than that of Earth. Cherry’s younger sister’s name was Jasmine; she disappeared and was presumed dead at sixteen. But she was found later on Earth.
When she was five years old, Cherry’s father died in a fiery crash while serving on an ore spaceship. From then on, Cherry and her mother lived on what they could afford, which was not much. As the years went on, Cherry received Christ at nineteen and developed an attitude that she had to work extra hard for the simple things in life. She hoped to make something of herself at eighteen and struck out on her own. She went from one dead-end job to the next as misfortune hung over her like a cloud.
At thirty, Cherry finally landed a great job and a wonderful place to live. When hard times struck, causing her to lose her job and her home all in the same day. Distressed about her life, she sat under a Cherry tree in a park weeping, not knowing what to do next. Thor found her, and they became the first husband and wife-retrieval team in the galaxy.
The Galaxy series also consists of Leprechauns, Sprites, Will-o-the-wisps, which look like six-foot fairies, and various aliens. The Institute is a vast complex comprising an Arboretum, a beach at the foot of the mountain, a large housing complex with a cafe, a large store, and a Three-Dimensional Particle Acceleration System on the fifth floor of the Institute that is far better than any hologram, and an underground tramway.
Characters list
The Institute: sits on top of Mount Baldwin, some seven hundred feet above Smile Lake. Two hundred fifty men and women guard and work at the Institute.
Thor : or Thor Manning Stromburg, he grew up on a farming planet and was more trouble than he was worth because of his powerful desire for adventure. His parents did everything they could to teach him farming, to no avail. When he reached nineteen years old, Sam took him under his wing and gave him a job working for the Agency on the planet Avalon Prime.
Cherry R. Blossom : was born on Planet Haskel Prime, slightly smaller than Earth. Cherry’s younger sister’s name was Jasmine; she disappeared and was presumed dead at sixteen. But she was found years later, on Earth.
Cherry is a six-foot-tall, well-built woman with long wavy brown hair who loves pastel colors and red lipstick. She is soft-spoken and gentle. She is the first one to give an encouraging and uplifting word to others. If you’ve seen cherry blossoms in the springtime and their beauty, then you know why she is called Cherry Blossom, or Cherry for short. She can handle herself quite well in times of trouble and is an expert in firearms.
Cherish Apple Blossom ; Thor and Sam accidentally cloned her. She is an exact duplicate of Cherry. Cherry’s twin sister Apple died shortly after birth. Cherish was first called Likeness. Cherish has a heart-shaped birthmark on her tailbone, and a mangled big toe, on her right foot that Cherry doesn’t have. Cherish likes showing off her body, but Cherry doesn’t. Cherish has a mole in the center of her chest, whereas Cherry doesn’t.
Rock: Thomas L. Buttermen is his real name; he was born to a wealthy family on the Planet Avalon Prime, where people told him that he should rent himself out as a beanpole. Rock was skinny through his adult life but worked out and now is muscular. He is six feet four and has blond hair; he is the chief of Security at the Institute.
Rose M. Bud: married to Rock Buttermen. She wears perfume, which gives off a gentle scent of roses. She is six feet tall with long, silky brown hair and a fair complexion. She loves long flowery, pale-colored dresses. Her bright blue eyes sparkle when she speaks. She was suspended in a timeless void for fifty years as Agar used her as his means of strength.
Gideon Bear : he is a two-foot-tall, blue Three-Dimensional Particle Acceleration bear. He is the messenger bear around the Institute and is a favorite of Thor because he saved his life. Gideon is also known as Gideon the Avenging Bear and carries two Katanas on his back.
Sam: was an orphan at the age of eight and grew up in a home for boys. There he had to learn to defend himself against those who were twice his size to survive. At eighteen, Sam joined the Avalon Prime Space Patrol and quickly moved up through the ranks to the position of Admiral. After his turn in the space military was over, Sam formed; a company called The Agency and was referred to as Admiral Sam the Stout. Sam has red hair around the sides of his head. He is an adventurer, gung-ho, is this a private fight, or can anyone join, type of person. He is short, about five feet three inches tall, and rather plump.
Gumshoe : is a mischievous blue nose monkey found on the same planet as General. He is very loveable and obedient. Gumshoe favors Cherry since she found him on the beach in the lagoon trying to steal her towel. He goes on all the missions because of his keen ability to know when danger is about to occur.
Kara: Tippy’s best friend and the only crippled Will-o-the-wisp, who is an embarrassment to the Wisps because she is disabled.
The Will-o-the-wisps , Are six-foot pixies; they live in secret; when an infant Will-o-the-wisp is born, it is snow white, and as it grows older, they change to yellow in its youth. Then, adult women are red; the men are dark green. The military is blue green; the ruler is always deep blue, whether male or female. As the human population grew on Dicapl, the Will-o-the-wisp were seen less and less until Harry and Bitsy came along and helped the humans and the Will-o-the-wisp live together in harmony.
Ab : is a tall, thin figure in a white robe with light orange skin, dark blue oval eyes, and a small slit for a mouth. His full title is Master Ashdothmpisgah Shechaniah Bashanmhavothmjair.
